C.M. Hinton Jr. Regional Landfill and Wood Recycling Facility

C.M. Hinton Jr. Regional Landfill and Wood Recycling Facility is a local recycling center in Rowlett that handles common curbside and bulky recyclable materials. Neighbors dropping off yard wood, cardboard, metal and mixed recyclables use this spot to keep those items out of the landfill. The site attracts both residential and small commercial loads looking to recycle larger items than curbside allows.

Drive up Elm Grove Road to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to pull through a gate to access the main working area. The property is large and open - piles of processed wood and rows of collection containers are visible from the drive-in lanes. Typical flow is drive in, tip or unload at the appropriate pile or container, then exit; bring help for heavy or awkward items since there aren’t formal customer unload conveyors. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busiest, so lines at the gate and around the scale lane are common.
